To all whom it may conero:

Be it known that I, DAVID J.

The nature of my invention consists of a circular box, A, provided witha cylinder, B, as represented by Figure 1, giving its position when theend of box A is removed. Fig. 2 gives a view of cylinder B detached frombox A, and reversed, provided with ribs r r T r, two of which haveAScrapers c c attached by hooks or joints, allowing them to expand andcontract. Scrapers o o o o are formed in a regular curve, and onerequired to each rib, so if all were closed at onetime they would form aperfect cylinder around cylinder B, which is provided with rods s spassing through its center, for the purpose of expanding each scraper inturn as the one on the opposite side is contracted by the eccentriccurve formed by the cylinder B, with its Scrapers o c o c, being smallerthan the inside diameter of box A, and having its axis placed enoughbelow the center ofeach end of box A to have the Fig. 4 represents amovable head or end de` tached from Fig. l, provided with cell D, tubeE, bearings F, and proper fastenings to secure' it to box A.

Fig. 3 represents the machine ready for use, with a hopper, H, and crankK attached; also feet o o o o, by which the machine may be fastened to abench.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

A sausage-filling machine, consisting of the external hollow cylinder,A, and the eccentrically-pivoted internal cylinder, B, provided with theribs r r r1', sera-pers o o c o, and rods s s, arranged a-nd operated asset forth.
